I just got diagnosed with this and I'm a piano player. My mother and twin sister also have it. I'm a Cuban with 100% European Ancestry and it also came out on my DNA health testing. The pain is insufferable.
my dad has this. i'm 44 and the ring finger on my left hand has been hurting the last few weeks. is this a quick progression type thing? would it come on within just a few weeks? i also play the drums daily, so i honestly don't know if i just messed up my hand these past few weeks. any good suggestions for drs in the boston area?
Their crazy. It hurts like hell . In winter it's unbearable. The swelling cause poor circulation my hands are like ice . Plus arthritis and carpel tunnel. I've been a carpenter 40 years ,outside year-round .
I was being successfully treated via Xiapex over here in the UK - until the main manufacturer withdrew the license in 2019. I'm a professional musician (piano and guitar) in my 50's and have been fighting invasive procedures for DC since my early 30s to maintain my career. Its very depressing how the pharmaceutical systems work. This was an amazing new treatment.
@@BrewBlaster I had my first one on my little finger RH in 2013 - still not returned. Was part way through treatment on my LH for little finger - palm sorted but not bend at PIP.
@@pedromartinez6498 over here it was substantially cheaper than open fascioctomy surgery which amounted to 4- 5 x the cost - cost to have a surgery team, anaesthetic etc - also factor in recovery and hand usage was almost immediate as opposed to the potential 6 month recovery time with surgery - this was factored into the 'cost' by NICE over here in the UK as there is a quality of life aspect that needs to be considered too. I was playing piano and guitar within two days.
I just found out I have this, I knew something was wrong growing up but didn't show symptoms until 42 years old and I have them on my feet also I'm doomed 😅
Everyone says it's painless. NO IT ISN'T. I have pain around the nodules. Feels like there's a tug of war going on Inside my hand. I got a shot of steroids in my hand today, as. Y doctor told me it's wrong to treat it when it's new, like mine. He said to wait
I have all three. They hurt now matter what they say. My hands hurt my feet hurt and my penis hurts. Sex is miserable. If u feel that i know what u r going through i have duyputrens, peyronies and ledderhosen my life hurts. Everybody have a great day im trying
Dupuytrens Contracture is just a symptom of something bigger. I invite you to study Chinese Medicine to find the real cause of this disease, Dr.Verheyden. And yes, it will come back in most cases because the surgery only addresses the symptom, not the cause.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is not a cure and I was curious how often were you getting these treatments?

Funny how they don’t mention how unbelievably expensive this treatment was, not even my insurance would cover it

Perfect
I am of Irish descent. Nobody in my family has it but me.
Was told by my doctor they would do anything until it was bent to over 90°
If you are unsure about the diagnosis, maybe consider getting a second opinion.

Same. It's insanely painful I have it in my palms and feet. Very very painful. I've had these injections. They didn't do anything

So enlighten us. What’s the etiology, and treatment?
